Wires as items

by Natha

The solution for all who don't like the idea of infinite circuit wires. Make them actual items that do not appear out of nowhere! This mod was created back in the days when circuit wires had to be crafted from resources, but disappeared when rewiring.

g How to build green and red wires on the platform?

When I select a wire and click on the combinator, it just opens its settings.

How does it work without this mod?

How does it work without this mod?

Via the toolbar or hotkeys. But since they are now unavailable, the game does not perceive the new wires as vanilla, and cannot put them on the platform for some reason. The construction mode in space probably works differently.

I understood the reason. On the planet, the player also cannot install ghost wires via remote viewing. You can't tell drones to install wires. And on the platform, the remote construction mode is used by default. You need to add the ability to place ghost wires.

Okay, I'll implement that. I thought that the shortcut just gives the wire item, which is also available via the inventory when pressing E. But these cannot be used for wiring

I'll wait for updates. Great mod, by the way.

Now in remote viewing sometimes this error appears:

Error while running event GetWiresBack::on_tick (ID 0)
value for required parameter 1 (target) is missing
stack traceback:
